OLR General Notice 2002-28

TO: Labor Relations Designees

FROM: Office of Labor Relations

SUBJECT: NP-2 Layoff Meeting

As you are aware, many of the NP-2 employees being targeted for layoff are the least senior in their Agencies and will have no bumping rights. Rather than require individual meetings between Agency Human Resources personnel and the affected employees, we have agreed with the Union to hold a general meeting at the CEUI Headquarters in Middletown. At that meeting, Union, OLR, SEBAC and Agency Human Resources representatives will provide the employees with all necessary forms, assist in filling out the forms and be available to answer questions about benefits and reemployment rights. You will be notified of the date and time of the meeting at a later date.

Those Agencies that are targeting employees who do have bumping rights will have to meet individually with those employees to inform them of their bumping options and how to exercise them.

Labor Relations Designees with questions regarding this should contact OLR at 418- 6447. All others please direct your inquiries to your agency Personnel Office.
